Harlot Art Preview - Boobella

The harlot art preview for this week is Boobella.  She's another import from my short stories, first appearing in "A Chance Glance and a Chance Conversation in a Student Bar" (which also shows up in my most recent collection of short stories, A Succubus for Social Justice).

Originally I wrote her as total bitch - the succubus equivalent of the mean-girl cheerleader trope.  Evidently I failed at that as she topped a poll of characters people most wanted to see added to HoHH, and then topping polls of favourite harlots.  This despite her being very open about her desire to drain the player of everything they have and kill them.

I guess people really like bad girls... :D

Here is her lovely pinup art, courtesy of marwmellow.

She'll show you a good time in the bedroom, but it will probably be a last time...

Work on House of Hellish Harlots is progressing fairly smoothly.  I'm starting to make good progress on updating the harlot scenarios to include notebook and replay functionality.  There is still a lot to be done, but I'm hoping to be back to a more regular release schedule from April onwards.  To keep up-to-date on progress, please consider subscribing to me on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Vête Piège

The harlot art preview for this week is the refined and sophisticated courtesan, Vête Piège.  Just be careful of where she puts her tail if you don't want to - literally - come to a sticky end...

Art is by Marwmellow.

I'm still working through the harlot notebook implementation and now (finally!) starting to make steady progress.  I'm hoping to be through the worst of it around the end of March and back to a more regular release schedule.  For regular updates, please check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is now available in print book version

This post was supposed to go out yesterday, but the best-laid plans and all that...

This book has a bit of a cursed history. Amazon has various automated checks to make sure somebody isn't ripping off an existing book. So what tends to happen is my attempts to republish the books under my own author account get flagged as infringing the copyright of my books when they were previously published with eXcessica. This is usually easy to resolve as I have signed documentation from eXcessica to revert the rights back to me after they closed down.

Except for this book, for some reason...

I had a hellish fight trying to get the ebook out in 2022. I just ended up with the wrong people on Amazon's Kindle Content Review team and it took a while to find someone that wasn't an idiot to resolve the problem.

I'm getting the same flags come up now I'm putting out print versions. For A Succubus for Christmas it was resolved within 10 minutes. I sent the same reply and documentation back for A Succubus for Valentine's Day, and nothing...

Given the fight I had to get the ebook out, I was dreading having the same problems.

Thankfully, it seems to have resolved, albeit taking about 36 hours rather than 10 minutes.

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is now available, again, as a physical print book for the first time in a few years. With a lovely, if extremely deceptive :D, new cover courtesy of Marwmellow. I've also updated the ebooks on Amazon and elsewhere to use the new cover (except Smashwords, as I still need to properly merge it with my Draft2Digital account).

I've tried to keep the price as low as possible, but Print-on-Demand paperbacks are unfortunately more expensive to produce than mass-market paperbacks, so the lowest I could drop it was $15.99. It is at least now an option if people want a physical copy for their bookshelf.

(With a very innocent-looking cover to properly traumatize anyone reading the first story by mistake. :D )

You can find it on Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNH6K3G6

I hope you enjoy it and happy Valentine's Day!

Coming Soon - "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" in Print

I received the print proof for the new print version of "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" with new cover art by marwmellow.

Looks fine. I'll be making that available to purchase on Amazon roughly around Friday 13th Feb (depending on when it goes live). Look out for more on that next week.

I'm going to be traumatizing romance readers again with that cover, aren't I...

Harlot Art Preview - Misty

This week the harlot art preview is the House's "guard dog", Misty.  She mostly roams the House's grounds and deals with intruders.  She's not a ghost but a lust daemon with a gaseous body.  This allows her to envelop men in a cloud of bliss.

Technically, Misty was the first ever harlot.  While I was experimenting with Twine, I wrote what could be the first chapter of a CYOA detailing the player getting to the House after their car broke down.  Misty was there to deal with players that tried to take options that were not walking to the House.

That plan changed and the House of Hellish Harlots project changed into the current game idea rather than a simple CYOA or gamebook.

(Although with hindsight, I maybe should have made the more simple CYOA/gamebook first as HoHH evolved into a much more complex game project).

Art is by marwmellow.

Back to complexity, I'm still working through the harlot notebook code.  That is extremely complex, but will result in a replayable "monsterpedia" similar to the one in Monmusu Quest.  (And provide other benefits).  I've been slogging away at it for a while, but I am finally starting to make good progress on it.

Harlot Art Preview - Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia

This week the harlot art preview is the great bath pitcher, Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia.  A legendary harlot from ancient times, countless heroes have met their end within her pitcher.  She is more amenable to guests from the House, giving them a sensual frothy experience they'll remember for the rest of their lives, should they return from her pitcher... 

Art is by marwmellow.

Harlot Art Preview - Veronicella

This week the harlot art preview is of Veronicella.  This gorgeous slug girl specialises in giving men a sensual all-over body massage with her soft and slimy body.  An experience that will have you melting in bliss...

Art by marwmellow.  There are two main reasons why I love this piece.  Ahem.

I'm still hard at work extending notebook functionality to the low-tier harlots.  It's slow and fiddly at the moment, but I'm hoping it will get quicker as I properly template the process.
